Whelp… my job is through a program mostly funded through federal grant money… so I guess I get to wait and see if I still have a job. 😩

I found a clump of moss in my round hay bale today. A patch of dried green fluff showing the promise of enduring life in the depths of a cold snowy winter. I tucked it in my pocket and after chores I put it in a jar with water near a sunny window.
There is hope in green things.

Dug out the only snow suit I could find. Husband at work saw me heading out on the doorbell cam and asked if I was escaping from jail. 😂

Kamala Harris had been nothing but a class act and yet the conservatives I know are talking crap about her as if she is some kind of conniving fiend. She smiles and reaches to shake hands and they snub her. She isn’t the one being petty.

Imagine watching disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 and thinking that the apocalyptic weather scenes were the “unrealistic” part.
Turns out those scenes were almost bang on.
The unrealistic part was the humans working together to overcome the problem & save the world. Sigh.

Somebody somewhere
Needs flowers tonight
In a world gone mad
Take breaks when you need to
Stand up when you have to
And never give up
Needs flowers tonight
In a world gone mad
Take breaks when you need to
Stand up when you have to
And never give up

I used to argue that Die Hard wasn’t a Christmas movie, it was just a movie that happened to take place at Christmas. We watched it again today and I am wondering why past me thought that, because it is *obviously* a Christmas movie.

Also, courage is contagious. I continue to stand against American fascism in the hope that others will take heart, too.

Elon Musk and JD Vance's Support of Germany's Nazi-Loving AfD Party Should Be Much Bigger News
Elon Musk & J.D. Vance tweeted in support of the AfD Party whose racist, anti-immigrant ideologies are shared by a terrorist who just killed 5 people in Germany. Maybe it's not "economic anxiety."

The rich keep us distracted by turning us against each other based on party, color, gender, even whether we live urban or rural… while they laugh their way to the bank knowing they are the real threat.
